Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0827885A1] In a system for releasing the brake pedal (10) in the event of a collision, the pedal is linked to the body (16) of the vehicle by a bracket (20). A lower portion of the bracket is hinged (15) to the body (16) of the vehicle and an upper portion of the bracket is hooked to a hook member (30) in turn pivotally mounted at a first location (32) to the steering column (40) and secured at a second location (33) to the vehicle. The hook member (30) has a first position, for normal operation, in which it keeps the bracket (20) fixed, and a second position, rotated about the first pivotal connection (32) to the steering column (40) following a collision, in which the bracket (20) is released from the hook member (30) and is free to rotate about the hinged connection (15) to the vehicle. In the second position, the brake pedal is free to rotate until it reaches the front body frame (17). <IMAGE>
